Hey,

just for your interest:
OpenKeychain now supports Tor for updating keys from HKP keyservers.
We require the installation of Orbot and route all connections over
the local SOCKS proxy with OkHttp.

This work has been done by our GSoC student Adithya Abraham Philip who
will now also work on a background sync that should be scheduled via
SyncAdapters to retrieve revocation certificates timely. We think
about ways to route this, e.g., weekly, sync over several Tor nodes to
make it difficult to correlate key updates. There is a software called
parcimonie which does something similar for GNU/Linux. If you have
ideas or suggestions how to improve this, consider writing at
https://github.com/open-keychain/open-keychain/issues/1337

Regards
Dominik
